Sewer Dwellers

One month ago I posted a list of "things that have been found in sewers." To that list I now have to add 100 immigrants, including 24 Afghan children. They've been found living in the sewers beneath Rome. Seems they got down there by removing some manhole covers. I've watched enough horror films to know it's only a matter of time before they become cannibalistic and start pulling victims down into the sewers with them. (Thanks, Sandy!)

CHUD! I guess I can cross Rome off the list of places to visit.

Some of those "sewers" in Rome aren't quite what Americans think of when they hear that word but, still, I'm amost positve that they don't have cable down there.

Beats living under a bridge. And if you had to live in such a place, why not Rome? At least Rome has history, and gorgeous places to see, and great food to eat. And the Pope! I see no downside.
